Sapele—Ahead of next month’s general elections, the Delta State Police Command, says it has greatly improved on its facilities across the state for effective surveillance in the days ahead.

State Commissioner of Police, Alkali Usman, who spoke during his familiarisation visit and the commissioning of the newly built Divisional Police Officer’s/Aministration Block, at the Sapele Divisional Police headquarters, in Sapele Local Government Area of the state, said: “Over the years, there had been repeated cases of serious crimes such as armed robbery, murder, kidnapping and illegal oil bunkering among others.

“Consequently, this project has been constructed with the co-operation of officers and men and community members, to reduce crime rate to its barest minimum.”

He noted that Sapele, being one of the largest divisions in Delta State, the station was faced with some constraints which hindered efficient performance.
